I get a little embarrassed as I pull out sweet white after sweet white wine all through the summer. But it's all I want to drink when the weather is fine and summer squash is on the menu. Our wine collection (yo - who amoungst you ever thought you'd have one? Even to just have a couple of extra bottles on hand? Not me, anyway. Seems like only yesterday we were scraping together our dimes to buy Thunderbird) is heavy on heavy reds, so we are often off to the store to stock up on more light whites. We can't seem to get enough of Finger Lakes region Rieslings, Gerwurztraminer from anywhere, and white Riojas for making white Sangria.

From Slate, a nice quick article with some other ideas for summer wines. And no need to be embarrassed.
